Born Shirley Muldowney was known as the “First Lady of Drag Racing” because she was one of the first women to race in a car instead of standing on the sidelines with a trophy. “First Lady of Drag Racing” is what people call her. In the late 1950s, she started racing in the upstate part of New York. By the middle of the 1960s, she was well on becoming one of the most daring racers on the circuit.

Muldowney says that her competitors and the NHRA gave her a lot of trouble because she just wanted to race, but in the end, they came to her point of view. She said, “NHRA fought me every step of the way, but when they saw how many people a woman could bring to the stands, they realized I was great for the sport.”
